Did Stihl change their bar oil?

I recently picked up a gallon of Echo B&C oil at Home Depot after reading good reviews on it. Pretty tacky, and only $12. Haven't used more than 1-2 tanks but I like it more than the crap I got last time I was at Tractor Supply

I have always bought the orange jug and have not seen a difference yet. The weather temp does change it a bit but if it is that cold I stay in.

I used some of my buddy's stock of older orange Stihl last week. From room temperature in the house it is quite thin but at 20 degrees it is too thick so we used the blue jug until temps got into the mid 30's.

The "old" Stihl orange seems to get thick quickly. At home I have been using Cam2 from Menards and it is not that thin in the summer and still is manageable down to 10 degrees.

Does anyone know if Husky has changed their oil or is it the same? My son has gotten me some Husky bar oil and I never really noticed any difference betweem the Husky and Stihl oils. It has been a few years since I bought a jug of Stihl oil.
